I'm wide awake and in pain! I've been having a gallstone attack since 9pm Angry

Anyone else awake and very cross about it?

Me! I have the flu/bad cold and can't sleep because I slept for most of the day and have a completely blocked nose! Really wish I could sleep, child will be awake in 3 hours Sad

treaclesoda · 22/12/2018 02:55

I'm wide awake.

Gallstones are hellish, you have my deepest sympathy.

ConfusedWife1234 · 22/12/2018 02:56

Ouch. That sounds painful. I am awake. We have DS in our bed who has a bad cough and wakes up all of the time.

RollonSummer19 · 22/12/2018 02:57

Thank you, they are evil!

I've got a 2yo who will be up in a few hours too, luckily I know DH will get up with her for me. I am very jealous of how much of a deep sleep he's in right now...

I cant sleep becuase of pain in my hip, it's the same most nights. Oh the joys

JosephineBucket · 22/12/2018 02:59

I went to bed at 10pm like a good girl but woke up at 1am and can't settle again. My DH is fast asleep and I'm also jealous.

Tentativesteps133 · 22/12/2018 03:02

Yes! Dd woke at 2, unusually took 30 mins to settle and now I'm wide awake and cross about it. Looking at my phone won't be helping I'm sure...

Starlight456 · 22/12/2018 03:06

I am up my Ds has the sickness bug I was up with last night.

Would rather it was me for the second night

Unacceptable · 22/12/2018 03:06

Awake and almost too exhausted to get cross about it.
You have my sympathy.
I do not regret demanding my gallbladder be removed.
Put up with the pain once too often and then insisted GP had me referred for the op. Never been so bolshy before but year on so glad I was.

Awake for work in few hours.
Long stressful day means I can't wind down.
Will spend Saturday slogging through after an hour or so kip if I manage to nod off 😒

SneakyGremlinsBrokeTheSleigh · 22/12/2018 03:09

I'm heading off to try and sleep now - slept all day due to illness so finding it hard to sleep now...

TheChippendenSpook · 22/12/2018 03:09

I hope you feel better soon. I've just got in from my volunteering role and I'm shattered but can't sleep just yet. I need to sit in the quiet and chill but I've got to be up for 9am.

DramaAlpaca · 22/12/2018 03:09

I'm awake but not cross. It's fairly normal for me, I'm a night owl who often doesn't go to bed until the early hours but this is late even for me. I picked DH up from his works' xmas party a couple of hours ago & while he is upstairs snoring like a warthog I'm still downstairs & wide awake. It might be because I had a nice nap at about 8 pm - silly me.

Hope all of you who are in pain manage some peaceful sleep soon.

Milliepede · 22/12/2018 03:16

I'm going to try and go back to sleep now. Goodnight all.

Anonalongadingdong123 · 22/12/2018 03:19

Yup wide awake

Mailfuckoff · 22/12/2018 03:22

I'm awake again. It's becoming a regular thing this new nocturnal life of mine. I can sleep but then am wide awake and that's it.

tryinganewname · 22/12/2018 03:24

DD (5 months) is doing her 3am choir practice with intermittent thrashing around. Wish I knew why she was doing it every night.. although it does beat last night's full on screaming attack.

Bumbalaya · 22/12/2018 03:29

I can't sleep because it's a full moon and i fell asleep at 8:30 pm and s a mum of a toddler my body thinks I need to be awake after a 5 hour block of sleep.
Ive got a cold and gallstones too so I feel your pain.
Are you having your GB removed OP?
Im thinking of having mine removed.

IceBearRocks · 22/12/2018 03:30

I'm awake!!! DD7 has just come in and said she's not sure if she's been asleep!!!!
I've got herniated disc so can't just jump up and will take me a long time to go off again! Despite being woken ...DH is snoring away !

FenellasRedVelvetDress · 22/12/2018 03:30

I’m awake because of long term pain.
But it doesn’t help that I’m stressing about sleeping in.
Why is my alarm set for 7am on a saturday you might ( or might not) be thinking.
Because I’m worried I will miss my collection slot for the food order from M&S.
Yes! I have jumped to the top ten in the chart of ‘ selfish and stupid buggers and their first world problems’.!!
Right, I’m going to try and sleep now. And no doubt I will dream of frantically pushing a trolly round my dead grandmas house looking for a turkey that isn’t there and then, as dreams go suddenly I will be in a 1970s supermarket looking for the turkey and vacuum packed chestnuts and all I will be able to see is huge piles of crackers............"night night.
And if anybody is awake at 7am just give me a nudge will you and make sure I’m up!

Asmallrole · 22/12/2018 03:36

My bladder woke me up and now I can't go back to sleep because DH is breathing. That snorty, heavy, semi snoring, clicking, popping kind of breathing.
I also dreamt I had triplets earlier so I'm trying to name them.

kateandme · 22/12/2018 03:37

FenellasRedVelvetDress
all problems are relative.dont belittle ur own because to ur be it a stupped toe or broken foot if it hurts or bothers you then that big enough to.and I totally understand on the food order.i feel sick when its my dad for needing to jump on the door when it comes.
an m&s order.ooo sounds exciting.just enjoy it.

Anonalongadingdong123 · 22/12/2018 03:38

Huey, Dewey and Louie?

kateandme · 22/12/2018 03:40

Asmallrole my mum has a ladder of reactions to ur problem. hold the nose.nudge his side.cover mouth and nose with hand(lightly.) then...."oi snoring!" with a bigger shove. works for like ten seconds anyway!

DixieFlatline · 22/12/2018 03:41

I’m at work and slightly grumpy because I’m not at home in bed. Will be worse tomorrow night.

TopBitchoftheWitches · 22/12/2018 03:41

Not slept well for a week now.

At least I can get to the supermarket for 8.00am now though...
